Oakland Rocks For Change

Here is my appeal to any one and everyone reading my blog. Please consider coming to our concert on September 16th, or at least consider a donation in support of this concert. Oakland Rocks For Change is September 16th at the Oakland Museum of CA. The VIP event is at 5:30pm and the concert begins at 7pm.

We have headliners: Blame Sally, Tuck & Patti, Tommy Castro, Hot Buttered Rum, Comedian Marga Gomez and hopefully to be confirmed in the morning, Maria Muldaur (currently famous for her new album, Yes We Can and her connection with the Obamas). There will be food vendors, voter registration tables, and so on. Its going to be quite an event.

This is very important to me. I have spent every available (and not so available) moment working on this fundraiser. We are raising money for Music For Democracy's campaign to support Obama and other targeted Democrats in the swing states. After listening to Sarah Palin, I am even more committed than ever before. She doesn't have experience and the experience she does have is horrifying. She is more pro-life than anyone who has run before her, she thinks global warming isn't human made. She thinks drilling is good, and tried to ban books in her local library because they had "inappropriate" language.

So, I am preaching to the choir. But I would like the choir to consider singing along loudly enough to make this election different than 2004. One way to support the effort would be to donate directly to the Obama campaign, time or money or both. Another way, would be to come listen to some great music and donate to some action in the swing states.

Please consider a ticket or donating a few bucks. End of commercial, except, here's how to do it:

Buy tickets here: www.oaklandrocksforchange.org, to donate go directly to Actblue and put in any amount you feel comfortable with. Thanks for listening.

PS. I almost forgot, Max gave a little smile on his way into the school. He was holding the teacher's hand the whole way which meant he was at the head of the class. This was his best day yet.
